“Uh-oh,” writes Wes Baker. “It looks like the Federal Reserve has some serious competition.”

UPDATE from Bill Watkins: “When I read the article about counterfeit currency in the KC Star over the weekend, a couple of thoughts crossed my mind. First, I thought it was remarkable that the MSM would so casually mention the possibility that the CIA might be behind the counterfeit notes and the fact that the CIA engaged in economic warfare against Soviet countries in the past by counterfeiting their currencies. Second, I had to wonder if the elite are beginnig to lay the groundwork for blaming North Korea or China or (fill in the blank) for the ongoing collapse of the U.S. dollar, which has actually been caused by Greenspan and Company.

“It must be driving them nuts that Ron Paul is educating millions of Americans about the fact that ALL fiat money is counterfeit when it’s not tied to a gold standard, and that the U.S. is the biggest counerfeitor of all.”

Iran is now selling 65% of its oil in euros, 20% in yen, and only 15% in dollars, and even that 15% it plans to switch to “more creditworthy currencies” such as the UAE dirham. With the Bush administration threatening fullscale war against Iran almost every day, and taking any number of other warlike steps (sanctions, funding of terrorism, etc.), political reasons are enough to explain this pricing decision, but as an Iranian spokesman noted, there is also “the fluctuations of the dollar on the currency markets and the depreciation of its value since 2004.”

Writes Gary North: “The yield curve inverted on September 13. This points to a recession in 2007. It’s not written in stone, but it’s written in wet concrete, which is drying fast.”

Rapturo-fascist Cal Thomas loves killer movies and also the new Oliver Stone flick: “I have a long list of favorite patriotic movies, including ‘Victory at Sea,’ ‘Yankee Doodle Dandy’ and ‘Sands of Iwo Jima,’ but Oliver Stone’s ‘World Trade Center’ is right up there with the best of them. It is one of the greatest pro-American, pro-family, pro-faith, pro-male, flag-waving, G-d Bless America films you will ever see….”

From Roderick L. Long on his Austro-Athenian blog: On LRC “Pat Buchanan writes: ‘Since Henry Wallace, then, 60 years ago, no vice president has been dumped.’ Um … what about Gerald Ford dumping Rockefeller for Dole in 1976?”
